Prenuptial Agreements can be a sensitive topic for couples as they get ready to start a life together. However, everyone has the right to feel confident that their finances, property, and rights are protected before they begin the next chapter of their lives. Having safeguards in place to protect both parties is simply a proactive way of avoiding complications or disputes if there is a divorce. Shapiro Law Group, PC understands prenuptial agreement laws in Massachusetts and the sensitive nature it presents. When you are ready to explore your options or review an Agreement already presented to you, let us give you honest and clear guidance.
A prenuptial agreement is not just for the wealthy. There are many reasons for seeking one aside from having a great deal of financial wealth you want to protect. If you have a family business or property that has been in the family for generations, a Prenuptial Agreement can protect it for future generations. Expectations of an inheritance or the potential to earn a great deal than you are worth at the beginning of a marriage are also reasons a Prenuptial Agreement may be needed.
Customized Protection
A Prenuptial Agreement can include or address any number or situations and results. Each Agreement is customized according to the needs and wishes of the individuals. It can outline a cut and dry and financial settlement. It can outline amounts to be given to the other party based on number of years married. Some also include detailed compensation plans if one spouse decides to give up his or her career to care for a family. Specific assets can be addressed also. Parties may choose to outline the fate of heirlooms or property before they unite in marriage.
If you have already signed a Prenuptial Agreement and a divorce is in the works, you may need legal assistance. We can determine if there are grounds to fight a previous Agreement and help if you believe that Agreement has been breached.
